Description Wolfram Schneider freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2025-11-24 07:42:35 UTC 
The ctfmerge(1) manpage
https://man.freebsd.org/ctfmerge

does not mention the supported environment variables.

Fortunately, NetBSD already documented it some month ago and we can copy the section upstream except for CTFMERGE_NUM_THREADS
